The Shortlist for June 3

In a weird twist of pop culture fate, Scott Thorson, who detailed the years he spent with Liberace in "Behind the Candelabra," was recently released from prison because of the HBO movie based on his book. Dennis Hof, the owner of the Moonlite Bunny Ranch in Nevada tells E! News that the the team of ladies at his brothel watched the film and were inspired to help Thorson, who was reportedly in jail on identity theft and burglary charges. So they bailed Thorson out, Hof tells E! "It was very emotional for Scott. He expressed his love for Liberace even after all this time," he added. As for the film? "Scott thought Matt [Damon] did a great job. He wants to meet him and thank him."
